2nd Photo is of a typical colored form and are not representative of this offering.

Details:

This species in native to a small area of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Expect growths to be 5” – 7” tall. Inflorescences are 3” – 6” long and can carry 2 – 4 flowers. Individual flowers are 4½” – 6” across. This particular offering is a paring of the type color form (pink) crossed with an awarded alba (white) form. Expect flowers to have sepals and petals that are light pink... perhaps light pink with a white edge. Expect the labellum to be lighter pink with dark gold crests in the throat. Plants will grow well with Cattleya. Plants in nature rarely encounter temperatures above 85F.

Formerly a member of Laelia section Hadrolaelia. This section undergone many changes recently. DNA work has moved them between Sophronitis and Cattleya. Another interpretation of the data placed them in the newly created genus Hadrolaelia. In Brazil Hadrolaelia is preferred, but Kew dominates and they are Cattleya for hybrid registration.

I am totally astonished by the incredible quality of the plants you shipped and the amazingly great and secure packing job you did. I am totally blown away- I never in my life received plants in such incredible condition. You made my day!

The Phalaenopsis heiroglypica is lovely and arrived in perfect condition. I appreciate the fact that its already in spike. Please update me when the darker variety comes in so I can order it while it is in stock-- Addy A. Maine

The orchid arrived quickly & well protected in it's package for the ride to my house. I appreciate the affordability of your company and am excited to be able to purchase exotic orchids not available in flower shops and other stores in my city. This is my 2nd Catt, & compared to my 1st purchased at another online site, I can see that ordering from Marlow's Orchids was a sure bet! My orchid's root system & foliage is the picture of health! Thank you Marlow's Orchids, youve got yourselves a fan- Andrea L.

I ordered an orchid for my father and called to make sure it could ship in winter weather ok. I was very reassured and the orchid arrived in perfect condition on a cold December day. The heat pack was still warm. This has been a great experience, beginning to end. Martha

???Thanks for the great service. The orchid was extremely well packed and arrived unscathed. I look forward to visiting your greenhouses sometime this winter.

My experience at Marlow Orchids has been nothing short of excellent. Jim has taken more than enough time to help me pick out orchids that are best suited for my environment, and is extremely knowledgable, and helpful. I recommend Marlow Orchids to anyone looking to start or add to a collection Jonathan Jones
